摘要

Phenotyping for drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters is used to assess quantitatively the effect of an intervention (e.g., drug therapy, diet) or a condition (e.g., genetic polymorphism, disease) on their activity. Appropriate selection of test drug and metric is essential to obtain results applicable for other substrates of the respective enzyme/transporter. The following phenotyping metrics are recommended based on the level of validation and on practicability: CYP1A2, paraxanthine/caffeine in plasma 6 h after 150 mg caffeine; CYP2C9, tolbutamide plasma concentration 24 h after 125 mg tolbutamide; CYP2C19, urinary excretion of 4'-OH-mephenytoin 0-12 h after 50 mg mephenytoin; CYP2D6, urinary molar ratio debrisoquine/4-OH-debrisoquine 0-8 h after 10 mg debrisoquine; and CYP3A4, plasma clearance of midazolam after 2 mg midazolam (all drugs given orally). .
